I have decided to start doing monthly non-bookish favourites. I think it is fun to talk about things other than books on this blog every once in awhile, and I figured this was a great way to do it! I will talk about all of the movies, TV shows, music, food, etc I loved during the month.
Love, Simon
Love, Simon was everything I hoped it would be and more! It was a little different than the book but I actually enjoyed the changes. It was so sweet and adorable! It is such an important movie and a great step forward. I thought that the casting was great and there were so many endearing moments.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
I wanted to try and watch a few of the movies that were nominated for the Oscars this year, and I am so surprised that Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri was my favourite of the bunch. It is a powerful story and the acting was stellar!
Girls Incarcerated
Girls Incarcerated follows a group of teenagers incarcerated in a juvenile correctional facility. I really became invested in a lot of these girls and the showing is extremely eye-opening.
Glam Masters
I am a huge reality TV fan so I am always on the lookout for new reality shows to watch. I was really excited when I heard about Glam Masters. It is a makeup competition show and I really am enjoying it so far. The winner gets to collab with Kim Kardashian and make an limited edition collections for her makeup line- KKW Beauty!
Morning Glory Muffins
I love this recipe and I have been starting every morning with one of these muffins. They have carrots, zucchini, and coconut in them, and they are so delicious!
Basic Tomato Sauce
I have always been someone who used store-bought sauce because I thought it would take too long to make my own. I found this really simple recipes that takes less than 20 minutes and tastes great! I will never use store-bought again!
Tarte ‘Be a Mermaid and Make Waves’ Eyeshadow Palette
Look at this makeup palette! Isn’t it stunning? Of course I love anything mermaid! The colours have really cute names like fin-tastic and mermosa! They are beautiful and really pigmented. It doesn’t hurt that it looks really beautiful on my makeup vanity!
Straight Up With Stassi Podcast
Did I mention that I love mindless reality television? I usually watch it while writing my blog posts! One of the shows that I watch is Vanderpump Rules and Stassi is one of the women on the show. She has a podcast and it is really entertaining! It never fails to shock me and make me laugh.
I would love to hear your opinion on any of my favourites!
What did you love this month?
Once I started making homemade marinara sauce, I couldn’t think of buying it again. So good and so easy! Those muffins sound incredible, I might have to try those.
I was so surprised by how easy it is to make your own sauce and it really makes all the difference! The muffins are the perfect start to the morning!
I just watched Three Billboards the other night and I was surprised by how much I loved it!
I was surprised!! Even though it was nominated and won a bunch of Oscars I still don’t think enough people have seen it!
That eyeshadow palette looks gorgeous!!
I’m glad you loved Three Billboards! I watched all of the Oscar noms and there were a lot of duds but Three Billboards has really stayed with me. (Not least of all because I watched it 4 times, I think…)
I wanted to watch all of the movies but I just couldn’t do it! Three Billboards was the stand out of me too! That is awesome that you watched it 4 times!
love simon and three billboards were two of my favorites from this month too!! i didn’t really expect to love either of them so it was a v pleasant surprise. i love these wrap ups of yours!!
Ah both such fantastic movies!! Thank you Emma!
Three Billboards is on my list! I’m so happy you loved it 😉
Ah it is so great! The acting is fantastic!
I really want to see Love, Simon! It’s not out for a few more days here in the UK but I’m hoping I can convince someone to go and see it with me haha!
You are going to love it!!
For some strange reason my Dad keeps trying to convince me to go see Three Billboards (he hasn’t seen it and won’t go to the cinema) but it never really appealed. I may have to rethink. I am very jealous you got to see Love, Simon, there’s another week to go before it comes out in the UK
I was not sure that I would like Three Billboards but it was really brilliant! I think it is worth giving a chance! I hope you love Love, Simon when it comes out! I think it will be worth the wait!!
I can’t wait to see Love, Simon! Very happy it’s getting so much positive attention.
It was adorable! You are going to love it!
I really want to go see Love, Simon! It just came out a few days ago where I’m from and I’m definitely going to go see it soon 🙂
You are going to love it Cindy!!!
I need to read Simon’s book so that I can watch the movie 😛
I loooooved Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. It was completely unexpected and Sam Rockwell ♥ (romantic sigh)
Romantic sigh indeed! 😍
Yes you do!! I loved the book and movie equally!
It was so unexpected! I was so happy that he won the oscar!! So well deserved!
Wow I like that you’re doing this series 😊 Love, Simon was such a good movie, I cried. And I’ve been eying the tarte mermaid palette and honestly their whole mermaid collection for a few weeks now; I’m a sucker for mermaid anything!!
Thank you! I cried too! My whole theater did!
The palette is freaking gorgeous!!! I am in love with it. It is a beautiful collection that is for sure!
I loved Three Billboards when I watched it! Such a fab movie, deserving of the Oscars it got! 🙂
I was blown away by it. Fantastic acting for sure!
AWNN FOR LOVE SIMON <3 I LOVED THAT MOVIE SOO MUCH!!
It was sooooo good!!!
I NEED to see Love, Simon! Hopefully I can do that before it goes out of theaters, or else I’ll just need to rent it from Redbox. 😉 I saw the Wrinkle in Time movie (the one that just came out) this month, and loved it! Have you seen it?
I hope you have a chance to see it in theaters! It was adorable and I loved seeing the reactions of everyone watching! I have not seen A Wrinkle in Time yet!!! I need too!
I love these kinds of posts! It’s always exciting to see who the person behind the blog is and what other interests they might have!
I’m SO happy you enjoyed Love, Simon – it’s only getting released a little later over here, but everyone else has been loving it and I’m sure I will too! Also that Mermaid Palette looks to die for 😍
Can’t wait for more non-bookish favourites posts 🌸
I love learning more about fellow bloggers as well! Love Simon is adorable so I think you will love it!
I have used the Mermaid palette everyday since I received it. It’s gorgeous!
Thanks Michelle!
